a really good suggestion. >> dana: it will come back. >> bob: in 1980 i was in the white house, presidenting to compete there. >> dana: that would have been fascinating discussion in roosevelt room. >> bob: unbelievable. the roosevelt room not oval office but huge neighbor the middle. i was standing up pounding the back of the chair. the president wasn't in the room. saying of course we got to go. what are you kidding me? some nonathlete across, some pollty person "oh, no, we can't do that." >> eric: probably going who is the guy in the back. get him out of there. >> bob: that was a controversial decision. but carl lewis could have been in five olympics. nobody does that. >> greg: it was also drafted by the chicago bulls which is a fine baseball team. and the dallas cowboys in 19 # 4, which i think is hockey. >> bob: it is hockey. >> greg: he never played in either. >> bob: do you give advice on sports? the advisor? >> greg: i'm the personal trainer. >> bob: okay. we'll let that go. >> dana: the nicest thing you said all day. >> bob: carl lewis got in to politics and he was going to run f

white house press corps, i'd like your thoughts on this, they want access to president obama. a lot of them you see them writing books. they do movies and this. they're lap dogs often. >> dana: this is not that big a deal outside the white house press corps but it's chipping away at the press' responsibility and freedom to do what they do. a pool report, where one reporter writes it for everybody else. you can't have every reporter everywhere. they should be amongst themselves. turn out this week -- somebody on vice president staff was trying to edit the tool report before it went out. and then we had the nerve today to tell russia to respect freedom of expression from its people. in the meantime, they're trying to edit the pool report. they're just trying to do too much control. it will backfire. >> bob: editing the pool report is a good idea if you can get away with it. >> dana: one time tony snow is giving a press briefing when he was at the press room and he was thanking a group of people for helping him. he left out somebody. it was embarrassing. a mistake. he didn't mean to do it. but it was pointed out to him that this person got left out. so tony then asked the sten

dana, you may have been in the white house. everyone was very nervous about it.ers of congress were saying oh, my, gosh, we have to explain it to the district. now ask any senior, they love it. change is difficult. explaining is tough in politics. seniors are very savvy when it comes -- >> bob: what is tough is believing for a second that the health insurance companies in this country will play fair. they won't. they'll jack up prices. >> eric: if you want a sale for the romney plan? here is the sales pitch. all the seniors with medicare advantage it's going away under obamacare. it's gone. >> kimberly: that is the fact. >> bob: what which you pay for anyway. >> eric: no, no no,, no, bob. no, no, no. you personally pay for it. it's also subsidized. stop it. that's disingenuous. medicare advantage is going away. >> bob: not disingenuous that romney will take care of the medicare needs if you don't like it in the free market system? >> dana: romney hasn't detailed his plan, which is a problem. if you don't supply the details your opponents will do it for you. the r

which is what the white house wants to do. >> well, dana, but it seems like some of the gop leaders are drastic changes. and including speaker boehner. you know, yesterday here's what boehner said about the romney/ryan approach. i'm quoting him. i'm sure there will be other ideas about how you save medicare, all of those will be part of the big policy debate we have next year. and it will come next year regardless of who wins the election. it will come next year, a bug debate, but he is supporting a ticket that would end medicare as we know it. so it seems like he is trying to back away from this. >> well, i think john boehner is a smart politician and a bit more sensible than some others are in the party right now. you can find polls and cut polls in various different ways and say well, maybe it is not hurting the republicans as much as you would expect. but it is hurting them in fundamental ways and the best they can do on this is play to a -- to this advantage. the larger issue here is republicans are in a position of doing these sorts of budget cuts, whether it is medicare, whether

he needs, i don't mean to get the specific white papers but goes one, two, three, four. >> eric: danamney, define the man a little bit. very suck self, right? is he embarrassed of the success? is he trying to relate to people who maybe aren't as successful as him and not being, show people he is proud of the achievements? >> dana: i'm sure he did do good at job interviews in the past because he has been successful. he the s the kind of guy that you think it's almost painful, because he is so modest. he doesn't want to talk about himself. so it makes him look stiff. look like he doesn't want, he doesn't relate to you. he is a lot more like people than others realize. he has been successful. made a lot of money. but he did that, if you listen to what ann romney said the other night, how they started out was a lot like other people started out. my parents when they were in evanton, wyoming, where i was born. i don't even know if they had a dining room table. but they succeeded. and i think what he has to do is say this is what i want for everybody else. i believe the expectations for the
